ROP Framework
ROP Assessment Inputs Inspection Findings Very low safety or security significance finding Low to moderate safety or security significance finding Substantial safety or security significance finding High safety or security significance finding WHITE GREEN YELLOW RED NRC develops findings from inspections Findings evaluated for safety significance using a significance determination process
ROP Assessment Inputs Performance Indicators (PIs)
Performance within an expected level Performance outside expected range Minimal reduction in the safety margin Signals a significant reduction in safety margin in the area measured WHITE GREEN YELLOW RED Licensees collect PI data (17 PIs total)
PI data reported to the NRC quarterly PI data evaluated & integrated with inspection findings to develop NRCs assessment of licensee performance
